Pre-Toss Call

Our predicted decision
bat first
From the article: "Toss: Bat first. The Oval rewards first-innings runs — a first-innings average around 343 means a big total counts for more than the chase, and the pitch is at its best early before it slows and starts to turn."

How we made this ENG vs NZ toss prediction

We do not predict who wins the coin flip itself; that is genuinely 50/50. We predict what the toss winner will choose to do. For this match, our pre-toss call was made in the article body before the toss happened. The result above shows whether the captain actually followed our predicted decision.

For the full methodology — venue toss patterns, dew, and captaincy psychology — see our toss methodology.
